Could YOU survive the Middle Ages?
Forget dusty textbooks and everything you've seen in movies. This book is your survival guide to the muddy, daring, and downright bizarre world of medieval life.
What was it really like to be a kid in an age of knights, plagues, and castles? Through gripping stories, you'll meet kids just like you who weren't just watching history—they were making it. Get ready to meet 7-year-olds who were tried as adults, 12-year-olds who led crusades, and teenage rebels who nearly overthrew a king.
Inside, you will discover:
- The shocking reason children drank ale for breakfast.
- Wild games played with inflated pig's bladders and almost no rules.
- The secret codes and societies children used to outsmart adults.
- The surprising fates of girls who disguised themselves as boys to become blacksmiths and knights.
But this isn't just a story to read. Each chapter is packed with "Detective Challenges" to test your wits and conversation starters to challenge your parents ("Ask Your Parents"), connecting your own life to the incredible world of medieval kids.
Funny, shocking, and full of real-life action, this is the book that will make you see the past not as a boring lesson, but as an epic story you're still a part of.
This book will bring medieval childhood to life through storytelling, connecting kids to their historical counterparts while exploring the major events from 500-1500 CE. Each chapter will weave in diverse perspectives, including Norse, Norman, Saxon, and Celtic viewpoints, while keeping England as home base. The tone stays conversational and exciting, treating history as the ultimate adventure story—because it was!
